Abstract

Hormone profiles and testicular histology were studied in azoospermic men with Y-autosome trans-location and autosomal translocation. Plasma levels of LH, FSH, prolactin, and testosterone were within normal ranges in these anomalies. The responses of plasma gonadotropins to LH-RH and plasma testosterone to hCG were similar in the two groups. Johnsen score count, diameter of the seminiferous tubules, wall thickness, and Leydig cells per seminiferous tubules were similar in the two groups. It would appear that hormone conditions an alterations are similar in azoospermic men with Y-autosome translocation and autosomal translocation.
